Boy boy.. are we going to be in for another spammy hell ride. Why do you guys all say Oakie's in it for the money? Just because he's not bothered about pounds anymore? Just because he's now earning only US dollars?

No way man, it's just an awesome bonus. Imagine getting to do, what you love, everyday, flying all over the world, and getting PAID a bunch of money for it!

It's like me with my job: I really, really enjoy it, but the money is just a realllllly nice bonus.

hmm wonder how much tiesto earned on the 9 hour set...

Why do people start shitting on you when you get paid bank?

People like Oakenfold and PvD have been in the game for over a decade, and they are arguably 2 of the most popular DJ's in the world, so it makes sense that they are getting paid bank.

Why is it that when you get paid a lot of money to do something you love and are good at, your a sellout? It's not like Oakenfold plays "Can't Get You Out of My Head", "Zombie Nation," or "Castles in the Sky."

Have some fucking respect for the originators.

As far as I'm concerned, they're in the entertainment industry and should get paid accordingly.


Was Walt Disney a sellout? I don't think so.

Does anyone know how much they're all getting paid to spin at the WMC?
